Engineered tension shade sails for San Antonio backyards, schools, playgrounds, pools, and commercial properties — designed, fabricated, and installed by Texas Made Shade across San Antonio, the Hill Country, and the Texas Gulf Coast.
From little-league dugouts to tournament complexes, our sail shades cover players, families, and concessions with the same welded steel posts and tensioned shade fabric we use on schools and public pools across Texas. Color-matched to team colors — installed without disturbing the playing surface.

Phifertex® Plus mesh holds up 8–12 years in direct South Texas and San Antonio sun before fading or losing UV protection. The welded aluminum or steel frame underneath lasts 20+ years — when the fabric needs replacing, we re-cover the existing posts.
Yes — sail shade re-covers are one of our most common San Antonio and Hill Country jobs. We pattern new Phifertex® or canvas to your existing posts and tension hardware. Re-covers typically run 40–60% less than a full new sail shade install.
We've fabricated single sails over 40 ft on a side for Texas schools, playgrounds and commercial parking. Larger shaded areas use multiple overlapping sail shades on a shared post system — engineered for Texas wind loads.
Our sail shades use marine-grade stainless hardware, welded aluminum or galvanized steel posts, and engineered tension points. For Coastal Bend and hurricane-zone installs we add quick-release hardware so the fabric can be dropped before a major storm.
We pattern, fabricate, and install across Central Texas, the Hill Country, and the Gulf Coast. Click your city for local project examples and service details.

Faded, sun-damaged shade fabric replaced with new Phifertex Plus on the existing steel frame — turned around in about a week without rebuilding the structure. Tap an image to zoom in on fabric texture & color.
Years of harsh South Texas sun left the original mesh faded, brittle along the edges, and sagging — time for a re-cover.
